CVE-2026-86535: CWE-835 Loop with unreachable exit condition ('infinite loop') in Apache Software Foundation Apache Thrift
Loop with unreachable exit condition ('infinite loop'), Improperly controlled modification of object prototype attributes ('prototype pollution') vulnerability in Apache Thrift NodeJS bindings with TJSONProtocol. This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.25.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.25.0, which fixes the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Apache Thrift NodeJS bindings (TJSONProtocol) is characterized by a loop with an unreachable exit condition, effectively causing an infinite loop, combined with a prototype pollution flaw. Prototype pollution allows attackers to manipulate object prototype attributes, potentially leading to unexpected behavior or denial of service. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 0.25.0. The Apache Software Foundation has addressed this issue in version 0.25.0.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause denial of service due to an infinite loop and may allow attackers to manipulate object prototype attributes, potentially leading to further security issues in applications using the affected Apache Thrift NodeJS bindings. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache Thrift to version 0.25.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
